Efektivitas Web Based Inquiry Learning pada Materi Pencemaran Lingkungan dalam Konteks ESD (Education Sustainable Development) untuk Meningkatkan Kemampuan Berinkuiri dan Kepedulian Lingkungan Siswa SMP Kelas VII

This paper examines research in using Web Based Inquiry Learning (WBIL) as an alternative to online inquiry learning during the COVID-19 pandemic. WBIL was built to assist junior high school students in understanding everyday science phenomena with a guided inquiry framework and various scaffolding sources. In addition, it aims to support teachers in designing their virtual inquiry classrooms for the new normal learning era. Students' inquiry abilities are limited to five skills, consisting of formulating questions, formulating hypotheses, planning experiments, analyzing data, and drawing conclusions will be categorized based on the recapitulation of scores from the rubric that has been designed. Therefore, web-based inquiry can be used for teachers and students in science learning with appropriate navigation and content layout. WBIL in environmental pollution material is also effective in increasing students' environmental awareness by looking at the results of pretest and posttest as well as student written interviews about environmental pollution material which includes understanding of the environment, the factors that cause environmental pollution, and how to overcome environmental pollution.
